f 6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Qre9on, Tuesday, April 29, 1958 Bock Stairs: Once-a-Year Hackings By DAYTON MOORE United Press Correspondent Augusta, Ga. IP Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower's fa vorite golf course the metic ulously cared-for Augusta Na tional will be subjected to the hackings of 70 once-a-vear duffers next Monday. The 11th annual Augusta Ptess Radio Golf tournament will be held there with all but a score of the players admitted hackers. The tournament is one of the few times that newsmen get a chance to play the ex clusive National. In 1954, White House newsmen played the course with a special in vitation. But they were never invited back. They concluded HORNBROOK Brown Bear Cub Captured .By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN I Horse Creek grammar school Hornbrook A miniature - scene from the Old West was reenacted in Hornbrook . Thursday afternoon when a , brown bear cub was captured ; on Cottonwood creek. Charles and "Buck" Spear in, cleaning a ditch on the latter's ranch, noticed what appeared to be a dog curled up near-by. A pebble tossed in his direction roused the "critter," and the "dog" be came a bear cub. Apparently having emerged not too long before from his long winter nap, the little fellow was I sleeping in the sunshine on the bank of the creek. Buck shouted "Get him!" to his dog, Trixie. Trivie, a McNab shep herd, learned that, although small, the cub was full of fight. With one swift swipe of a fore-paw, he sent Trixie reeling backwards head over heels down the bank. She was on her feet in a flash, and soon had the bear treed, and held him there until Buck's son A. W. Jr. (Punky) Spearin arrived with Johnny Sylva. Johnny climbed the tree and sawed off the limb" the bear was on, but instantly when his feet touched the ground, he was off again and up an other tree, with Trixie hot on his heels. By this time, quite a crowd of relatives and neighbors had collected at the scene. With a snare rigged up on a pole, and the combined help and "kibitzing" of the onlook ers, the men were able to dis lodge him from his perch on the tree. Later. Punk's cousin, Jim Spearin, arrived to lend a hand, and the little beast, still showing plenty of fight, was finally subdued enough to be put in a pick-up and brought in to Punky Spearin's ranch, where he was staked out overnight. His weight was estimated at 50 pounds, tho he appeared larger, as he was still wear ing his heavy winter coat. Al Kutsky, a local taxidermist, placed his age at approximate ly four months. Fqr the short time he was staked out, he was the center of attention of adults and chilldren alike. Enroute to school Friday morning, Louie Freitas pulled up at the Spearen ranch so that all the school children could get out and see him. For most of them, this was the first time they had seen a bear outside a zoo. Neither the Ashland nor Kamath Falls zoos were in terested in acquiring him, ac cording to Mrs. Spearin, so he was turned over Friday morn ing to "Cactus" Bryson, Siski you County Game 'Warden, who will make further at tempt to place him in a zoo. Failing this, he will take him back to the woods and Jurn him loose. Buck Spearin, who has been heard to say. many times that "he would give his : right arm to be able to shoot ' bear," was asked why he didn't shoot this one. "Aw," said Buck, "he was too cute!" teams. The Hornbrook boys won 5 to 3, but the girls lost by a score of 10-8. At the regular meeting of the Parents club at the school house on Thursday, the fol lowing officers were elected: president, Norma Farmer; vice president, Lorraine Chad wick; secretary, Pat Watt; treasurer, Betty Cross; and parliamentarian, Elsie Hogan.

Henry Johnson of Portland is visiting his uncle, Matt Johnson, here. that they had been too rough on the course. They were puzzled that the local duffers were asked back year after year. However, the explanation was simple. The course is closed for a sum mer's reconditioning immedi ately after the newsmen's tournament. Officials of the National readily accepted a suggestion for the local newsmen's tour nament and volunteered to throw in a luncheon and beer. But they balked on a title of "The Little Masters" tourna ment. The President's former cad dy, Cemetery Perteet, turned out to get a glimpse of the chief executive as he rode through the entrance gates to the Augusta National Friday. The aged Negro, who had been the Presidents steady caddy here from 1952, was let out about a year ago by the club pro on the grounds that he had become "too old and decrepit." Newsmen were on the alert before the President's arrival here Friday for a demonstra tion against his economic poll cies. An anonymous caller to the local newspaper office said that there would be demonstration at the airport to show what was thought about the way he was han d 1 i n g recession problems However, it didn't material ize. The only local show of the afternoon was a Confeder ate Memorial Day parade which the President did not see.

The White House Corre spondents Association will hold its first annual dinner May 24 since 1924 without the nation's President as the hon ored guest. The original idea of the annual dinner was to honor the President and it was called off last year when President Eisenhower said he would be unable to attend. However, the correspond ents decided to go ahead this year even though the Presi dent made known he would pass up all such press func tions. Former President Truman may attend, however. Both he and former President Hoover were invited. Hoover, who re cently underwent a gall blad der operation, declined.

NEALON Table Rock Mr. and Mrs. William Isaacs, who have moved to a new home on South Holly st. in Medford, tell us the tough part of mov ing from the district is the parting with their many friends here, whom they es teem very highly. -While Mrs. Isaacs was somewhat of a newcomer here, Bill, a great lover of the outdoors during his quarter century residence here, had just about become an integral part of the community. . According to reports from the Beagle district, the litter of young coyotes we mention ed last week, contained five black pups and the tunnel to the nest dug through tough soil was some 30 feet in length. Black pups born to a coyote is quite unusual and has caus ed much speculation among those who know coyotes. Some think a ranch dog might have fathered the litter.

Robinson family were last Sunday visitors at the home of Vern Howard family in Klamath Falls. Irrigation by the sprinkler method was started here this week, mostly on new sown alfalfa.
